Per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509387#c10 rpm -q hunspell hunspell-1.2.8-5.fc11.x86_64 echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 hunspell <file> => ERROR: Can't open affix or dictionary files for dictionary named "".
I *imagine* there isn't any dictionaries installed right ?, i.e. what's the output of rpm -q hunspell-en and the output of locale
$ rpm -q hunspell-en hunspell-en-0.20090216-2.fc11.noarch $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
that's unusual, hmm. can I get... $ strace -f hunspell -l /dev/null > /tmp/log 2>&1 $ export >> /tmp/log
Created attachment 350795 [details] requested strace/export output
how come you have... declare -x LANGUAGE="" ? A number of things might be broken due to the presence of a $LANGUAGE which is empty, rather than not having a $LANGUAGE at all. (a quick look at OOo shows that its likely to get confused by that as well for example). Though I can clearly improve hunspell to dismiss an empty $LANGUAGE http://www.gnu.org/s/libc/manual/html_node/Using-gettextized-software.html#Using-gettextized-software

Re: comment #5 > how come you have... declare -x LANGUAGE="" Good question, no idea really, how/where is that supposed to get set? (I'll dig around in the meantime)
